Tigers even series behind Cabrera, Scherzer
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Yankees brought the winning run to the plate 3 victory to even this American League Division Series.
Valverde, perfect in 49 save opportunities in the regular season, entered the ninth with a four-run lead and immediately surrendered a home run to Nick Swisher.
A rare triple by Jorge Posada and a walk by Russell Martin proceeded Andruw Jones' sacrifice fly, cutting New York's deficit to 5-3. Jeter went down swinging, but Curtis Granderson kept the inning alive by working a walk.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Granderson's at-bat was extended after catcher Alex Avila slipped on the on- deck circle tracking his foul ball near the visitors' dugout.
Cano, who drove in six runs on Saturday, ended the rally by grounding out weakly to second, effectively snapping the Yankees' seven-game win streak in the ALDS.
Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-4 with three RBI and even stole a base for Detroit, which lost the suspended opener on Saturday, 9-3, and will turn to Cy Young favorite Justin Verlander for Game 3 on Monday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Max Scherzer (1-0) did his best Verlander impression in his first postseason start, as he took a no-hitter into the sixth and struck out five. The 15-game winner wound up allowing two hits and four walks and was pulled after putting the first two hitters on in the seventh.
